Images (attachments) not printing

[lmcc007]

The images display correctly when viewing in Print Preview, but they do not print.

How do I get the image to print?

Check the Display When property of the Image Control.

Check the Display When property of the Image Control.

It is set:

Display When = Always
Display As = Image/Icon

The image/attachment is a business card, which displays fine.

Check your printer settings. Also try to export to pdf to see if it shows on the pdf.

Printed to pdf with image.

Printer setting is okay.

Printed another db from my Access 2007 book and the images printed out okay.

I think the problem you're experiencing is printer specific and not an Access issue. Look into changing some of the properties of the printer, maybe a low res print or the printing mode like draft.

Okay, printer printing okay.

When I hit Ctrl+P to print, the images does not print. Then I change the report Modal to No, and then used the printer icon on the Quick Access Toolbar, the images printed.

Additionally, I created another db with company name and attachment field, the same thing happen when I hit Ctrl+P to print--the images did not print out. Then I used the printer icon on the Quick Access Toolbar, the images printed. Then I opened the report again and chose Print Preview, use the print button on the Ribbon--the images did not print out. I left the report opened in Print Preview and hit the printer icon on the Quick Access Toolbar, and the images printed.

I never noticed this before, so I don't know if the printer buttons are a problem or what.

Still as imagined, printer settings. I would imagine the printer dialog (ctrl + P) is set to print at high quality whilst some are at low res. Mock about with all the settings.

Yeah, I been playing with it but don't see the difference.

Also try DoCmd.PrintOut acPrintAll, , , acLow which will be the low res option, then try acDraft as well. Perform the print on the click event of the report in Report View mode.

Okay, that's it. acLow and acDraft will not print out the images. acMedium and acHigh will print out the images.

Wow, I would have never figure this one out. I knew the printer settings were the same.

Thanks for figuring this one out!

Do I need to create special print buttons? All of my reports are set to Pop Up and Modal. To use the Quick Access Toolbar printer button, I have to turn Modal off. Also, I am viewing them in Print Preview.

 

[vbaInet]

There's a setting on your printer properties to print High or Low res. You can change it on there.

Or since you're using a Modal report then you need a popup menu (i.e. right click popup menu) which can be created easily in pre 2007.

Not following you here because when I right click the report, it list printer and others which I was using but it wouldn't print correctly.

Did you not know you could create your own popup menus? If you had pre 2007 then you would have been able to do so with ease by customising the menu bars/tool bars. In Access 2007, it has to be done in code. See this:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/access/arch...t-menu-for-a-form-form-control-or-report.aspx

You will use the newly created context menu in the Shortcut Menu Bar property of your report. The function to Docmd.Printout will be attached to the menu item for printing.

Uh, nope. I been so busy trying to get the tables, queries, forms, and code down I haven't read much on reports or menu bars. Actually, I thought reports would be easy--didn't need much learning--but, I guess I'm wrong.

All objects have their difficult bits to master.

Just look for someone with Access 2003 or Access 2000 and create the shortcut menus there, it would be easier for you. Drag and drop sort of thing and then point to the function. Shortcut menus (or menus for that matter) are run from a function declared in a module.

Okay, thanks!

No problemo!

I was having this issue with just one system printing to a network printer. Downloading the current printer driver and doing a full install resolved this issue.

I use

Me.Printer.PrintQuality = acPRPQMedium

in the load event of my report to tell the printer which quality to use.
My printer prints the images if I set the property to acPRPQMedium as above or acPRPQHigh.

This works also, if the user clicks the print button in the ribbon menu to print the report.
